Yeah. Probably.

I'm just not a fan of having to change an entire way an encounter is handled just because a few people in the party are being lazy or incompetent. No one else's fault that the healer(s) aren't paying attention. It's possibly to heal through every single Platinal reaching the Bone Dragon if you time your heals properly. Maybe I'm just an elitist jerk at heart, I also get annoyed when people piss and moan if Phlegethon is tanked in the middle of the arena instead of near B's pad. You have time to move for Ancient Flare no matter where the boss is if you are paying attention. *shrugs*
